    Trawling through old tat...

    Doddy - Wed 28 May, 12:00 am BST

    At the recent Demo Day finale at Newnham Park in Plymouth, I bumped in to a local rider who was ripping round on a great Orange Clockwork - in that loud original orange colourway. He'd had his forks resprayed to match, and we generally got chatting about hardtails and the old days - which made me start sifting through random boxes of photos when I got home...

    Bike clothing is getting cool at last

    Doddy - Wed 14 May, 12:00 am BST

    Getting to test brand new kit is one of the most exciting things about working on a mountain bike magazine- so when the weather was blisteringly hot yesterday and we headed over Afan Forest Park for a SRAM session, there were grins all round. Hungry for new product? Take a bite of this lot…

    Doddy - Mon 21 Apr, 12:00 am BST

    Over the last few months my ‘fun’ bike riding has been a little lacking due to my duff wrist, so I’ve been getting the miles in on the Charge. It’s a great platform for testing as I use the bike for commuting as well as riding- so it sees a fair few miles every week…

    Doddy - Fri 18 Apr, 12:00 am BST

    Last year I had the pleasure of test riding the prototype Trek Remedy 6in travel All-Mountain/Freeride rig out in Mexico- and it came up great. But since then I've been itching to try one on conditions that will really test it...
